Search millions of free stock photos (Unsplash) and photos/videos (Pexels) and drop them straight onto the canvas.
Where: Plugins / stock search panel — Open the stock media search
Key ideas
- Stock-first: Prefer free stock before generating media.
- Photos + video: Unsplash for photos; Pexels for photos and video.
Steps
- Open the stock media search.
- Search a term and pick a result.
- Place it on the canvas or into a media element.
Provider differences
- Unsplash: stock photography.
- Pexels: stock photography and stock video.
- Result dimensions, crops, and available formats vary by asset/provider.
Insertion workflow
Search by visual subject and context, inspect the selected result, then insert it as a new media element or use it to replace/fill the intended selected element. The project receives a usable asset reference; the provider remains the source of licensing/availability facts.
Production review
- Confirm licensing and attribution requirements for the intended use.
- Set responsive crop/object fit and meaningful alt text for informative images.
- Compress/resize for the actual display size.
- Check poster/autoplay/loop and mobile bandwidth for stock video.
Tips
- Search with subject, composition, orientation, lighting, and negative-space terms.
- Use approved project assets for final brand media when stock results are only exploratory.
Troubleshooting
The stock item inserts but looks incorrectly cropped
Adjust the element aspect ratio, object fit, and object position; the result’s source dimensions may differ from the existing frame.
